B3.6 Pacing

Teachers manage pacing to ensure that units and lessons are completed in the time allotted, even in the face of challenging local school-level contexts or requirements (e.g., district pacing, assessment calendar, or other dependencies).

Implementing

Teachers plan to follow the suggested timing for activities and attend to the lesson synthesis and cool-down.

Teachers make data-informed decisions about optional activities and adjust lesson pacing as needed.

Developing

Teachers plan to follow the suggested timing for activities and attend to the lesson synthesis and cool-down.

Organizing

Teachers struggle to manage pacing (e.g., the warm-ups take too long, no time for the cool-downs) or spend too much time on questions not aligned with the lesson learning goal.

Teachers plan lessons without attention to pacing.

Reflect

How do you make decisions about optional activities and lessons?
